The geothermal resources map of the w:en:United States shows the estimated subterranean temperatures at a depth of 6 kilometers.
To determine the Earth's internal temperature at any depth below the capabilities of normal well drilling, multiple data sets are synthesized. The data used for this figure are: thermal conductivity, thickness of sedimentary rock, geothermal gradient, heat flow, and surface temperature.
